Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3) Gameplay

Tools of Destruction was one of the big reasons why I really wanted to pick up a PS3. I don't even remember why I wanted to play it so much at the time, I just saw a video or a review, and just wanted to play it, even though I had still yet to play the second or third games in the series.

It wasn't my main reason, but at the time I had an Xbox 360, but wanted to get a PS3 as well.

Honestly, I love this game. Insomniac had spent the years refining and tweaking R&C into an extremely addictive platformer/Shooter/RPG, and Tools of destruction was spectacular in my honest opinion. I remember it getting disappointing scores from the gaming media at the time, but their opinions and reasons to complain were dumb. I can't say their opinions were wrong, just uninformed.

I did notice that the idea of an unbiased gaming media really started to slip away during the 7th gen. Sites would stoke the flames of the fanboy flame wars, and there was a ton of negativity toward the PS3 at the time, and I'm saying this as someone who owned a 360 instead of a PS3.

Looking back, this whole period was silly, but interesting. Hopefully, people can look back on both consoles a lot more favorably than they did while those systems were still alive. It was pretty much the last great console generation, and the new ones are, meh. Not nearly as interesting or exciting. Not to sound like the PC master race, but when consoles are just download boxes for games, Series X, PS5, PC, what's the difference. I think I'll get a Switch someday instead.
